GlusterFS mount NFS on windows 10 Pro

Posted on Saturday, April 8, 2023





I have a basic GluserFS running and I also have NFS-Ganesha installed and running all on an ubuntu 22.04 server.   See  http://www.whiteboardcoder.com/2023/03/glusterfs-etcfstab-mount-options.html [1] for the details of the NFS setup

 



 


 

Mounting NFS drive From Windows 10 Pro.

I am not sure if this works on windows 10 (non-pro version)
I am going to do this from a Windows 10 Pro install.

I am looking at this page https://kbhost.nl/knowledgebase/enable-nfs-client-in-windows-10/ [2]

Open up the Control Panel


Search for

 

  > turn windows

 

 

Click on
Turn Windows Feature on or off

Open up Services for NFS
and checkbox on Client for NFS
then click OK

Give it a few seconds to install

Click Close

 

OK open up DOS prompt and run the following command
(Well adjust it for your system my NFS server is running on a server at 192.168.200)

 

  > mount -o anon \\192.168.0.200\volume-one z:

 

There it is.

Now I can see all the files I have there and simply drag and drop ones there too.

 


 

Automount NFS

 

OK, now how do we automount this drive for our own convenience.

Found some good info at https://dop-amine.com/posts/persistent-nfs-windows/ [3]

 

Search for run and click on the Run program.

Type in

 

shell:startup

 

 

 

And hit OK

This should open up your start up folder.

Let’s place a .bat file in here to mount NFS on startup

 

mount -o anon \\192.168.0.200\volume-one F:

 

Name it nfsmount.bat

OK Now reboot and see if it will auto mount.

It took 10 seconds after the reboot but then it mounted just fine

 


I would call that a success !
